Plea to wear masks on trains from Wales to England
TfW said it supported the advice on wearing masks from the Welsh government, adding: "We will also continue to ask passengers to wear face coverings on Transport for Wales services which have part, or all, of their journey in England.
Great Western Railway, which runs mainline services between south Wales and southern England, said it would remind passengers coming from England of the requirement to wear masks when travelling in Wales. Coach operator National Express said: "We are all responsible for keeping each other safe. We are advising customers to follow the guidance for the relevant country they are travelling in.Both National Express and Stagecoach, which operates within Wales and across the border, referred to a statement made on behalf of the coach and bus industry by trade group the Confederation of Passenger Transport.
"We now need to see clear guidance for operators and customers but, in the absence of regulations, it is important that we respect everyone's right to choose whether to wear a face covering."Some unions and passenger groups support masks on public transport remaining in Wales "The fact that the UK government is not going down this route in England will potentially put our members in an impossible position where they may be asked to police and enforce conflicting and confusing rules."
